Description: "Be my Witness to the Ends of the Earth! The Catholic Church in Indonesia before the 19th Century by Adolf Heuken SJHistory of the Catholic Church in Indonesia before the Arrival of the Dutch ISBN#97997229-1-8 Three tiny islands - the only area producing cloves - caused Christopher Columbus to sail from Spain to the west to find them. He discovered something else: Amerika. Generations of Portuguese sailors tried hard to reach the same islands by looking for a passage south of Africa and finally arrived in the Moluccas in 1511. Francis Xavier also endeavoured hard to reach these islets, not for the sake of spices but for the forsaken Christians living there. He found them and started organized Christianity in the Moluccas by establishing the first Christian communities in Indonesia. This Book tells the story of the beginning and the fate of the earliest Catholic communities in Indonesia. Book is in very good clean condition with unmarked pages, except for a gift inscription on front page
